The Ocean Terrace
With its unobstructed sea views, signature candy-stripe décor and wide-ranging menu of bistro-style plates, The Ocean Terrace has become a firm favourite with both in-house guests and local visitors, who return time and again to enjoy family-friendly al fresco dining in sunny Umhlanga.
The extensive menu offers something for every palate, with a well-priced selection of dishes inspired by both the freshest local produce and South Africa's diverse culinary heritage. Seafood is a particular speciality, while wood-fired pizzas and the famous Curry Buffet add even more choice for diners.
The Ocean Terrace offers a generous breakfast buffet (open to resident guests and visitors, on reservation) daily, with an à la carte menu for lunch and dinner.
